I've never warmed up to the new direction that Preen has been showing for a while, kinda Herve Leger/A.Wang/Balmain mix bag. So this is no exception, it looks lazy and uninspiring, sort of like "let's re-use all the patterns we have done for the past seasons and do them up in different fabrications and trims, and call it Resort".

While this looks more like a P-a-P SS collection to me, it's hands down the best out there. I wouldn't fault Preen on this as most other designers, eg. Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Dior, did quite elaborate resort collections that have nothing to do with an easy, relaxed holiday wardrobe. Love how there's so much thought and ideas put into every piece.
